Avalanche Software has released a new patch for Hogwarts Legacy, introducing official support for AMD FSR 3 and Intel XeSS 2.0. This update enables both AMD and Intel GPU users to use frame generation, potentially leading to significant performance gains.

As part of the integration of Intel XeSS 2.0, the April 17th update brings integration for Intel's Low Latency (XeLL) and Frame Generation (XeFG) technologies. The patch further refines the game's graphics settings by updating the GPU list to accurately default graphics options for newly released GPUs. Ray Tracing has also received attention in this update, as the patch addresses specific issues, such as a bug causing the shadow of the Hogsmeade watermill shadow to remain static, and various resolution problems within the Ray Tracing reflection system.

Beyond graphics enhancements, the update addresses various bugs and introduces fixes for several known issues. The detailed patch notes for the latest update can be found below:
